Have Faith



.

It is hard to believe it is time for another Flourishes Release Challenge.  With the cool crisp air here in NC I am ready.  We have had temps over 90 every day since April.  It is also time to say goodbye to my hummingbirds for the winter.  I thought this would be a great set to use. 


.

Our challenge this month is to use the above color palette.  Don't you just love all those yummy colors? I chose honeysuckle, coffee liqueur and cedar.  

I chose lots of the new AMAZING goodies Flourishes has in the store now.  Wow did those CHA girls do a great job picking out goodies.  I used Hello Hyacinth and Humming Along for my stamps. The paper is from My Minds Eye Vanity Fair and then I added this beautiful trim and pearls. 
I colored with Flourishes Copics Collection Lenten Roses.
I cut my image out with my Grand Calibur using the Spellbinders Eighteen die.  LOVE this new die. 
Come join in the fun. You have until Next Friday to complete a card using these colors. 

One more thing before I go.. A big welcome to Tammy Hershberger who is joining the Senior Design team.  We are very happy to have her.

    Stunning Dawn! I love the humming bird and pretty papers. I was not able to set out my hummingbird feeders here. The ants were so bad I had to put it up. I am sure there were many of them here too. I am sooo ready for fall. :)

    This is so gorgeous! I had to smile when I saw your background paper. I have this same paper & had never used it yet. I love your coloring on both the flower & the beautiful bird. You always put everything together so beautifully.
